I just read an article in the Columbus (OH) Dispatch. It seems that the
Rolling Stones are going back on tour for their latest album, No Security.
This album is a collection of live tracks from their Bridges to Babylon
tour. The Dispatch reported that this tour is going to be in
arenas (The Stones will be playing in the new Schottenstien Arena in
Columbus), and the AVERAGE ticket price will be $90, with tickets in the
"gold circle" (I assume this is the front row section) costing upwards of
$300. These were not scalper prices that they cited!!!!
I can only hope that when U2 goes back on tour for their next
album, they don't pull a stunt like this. I couldn't imagine them doing
it, but if they did, I sure wouldn't shell our that kind of cash. While I
was exstatic to see them twice on this last tour (I had never seen them
live before), I could NEVER justify paying $90+ for one ticket to a
concert. How would any of you feel? Would you pay that much to see U2 in
concert? Comments appreciated.
